Frequently Asked Questions

What is a converted shipping container?

A converted shipping container is a standard steel shipping container that has been modified and customised for a variety of uses beyond storage and transport. These bespoke container conversions can be transformed into equipment housing enclosures, retail spaces, workshops, battery storage units, switchgear rooms and mobile research laboratories. Our custom-built shipping container conversions include features such as fire-protection, insulation, ventilation, security doors, windows, electrical installations, and climate control to create functional, durable, and cost-effective modular spaces. With 40+ years of experience, we design and fabricate high-quality shipping container modifications, offering both fully bespoke solutions and ready-to-go stock units for immediate delivery across the UK.

How long does a shipping container conversion take?

The timeline for a shipping container conversion depends on the complexity of the design, custom features, and modifications required. On average:
  • Basic container modifications (e.g. adding doors, windows, insulation) can take 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Fully customised shipping container conversions (e.g. offices, workshops, laboratories or switchgear rooms) typically take 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the level of customisation.
  • Stock container conversions are often ready for immediate delivery.
We provide a detailed project timeline at the start, ensuring your converted shipping container is delivered on time and built to the highest standards. Get a free quote today and start your container conversion project!
